The Bulldog Breed is a 1960 British comedy film starring Norman Wisdom and directed by Robert Asher.

Plot Summary

After Norman Puckle (Norman Wisdom) is denied by the love of his life, he has many attempts at suicide but is saved by someone who convinces him to join the British Navy (the person being from the navy himself). But life isn't so rosy in the navy as Norman finds out, but is then chosen to be the first man to fly into outerspace!

Trivia

A vehicle for Wisdom in which he joins the British Navy, the film is notable for the only occasion where future British film stars Michael Caine and Oliver Reed share a scene together. It takes place in a cinema lobby, where Norman gets into a fight with a gang of Teddy Boys (one of which is played by Reed), only to be helped by some of his sailor friends, which include Caine. William Roache, of "Coronation Street" fame, also had a bit role.
